Chapter 151: Valeera's Prom
The University of Beckland starts on Mondays in early September.
Of course, this is the start time for students.
For lecturers, faculty and associate professors, they need to start work at least a week in advance, on the last Monday of August, to develop teaching plans and assign teaching tasks.
Monday, August 27th.
Valera arrived at Beckland University by horse-drawn carriage, and was given her own small office area on the office floor of the history department, in the large offices of the lecturers, the semi-partitioned kind.
After attending the nearly two-hour teaching meeting, she also clarified her responsibilities.
Naturally, the number of students at Beckland University is much larger than that of Huo Yin University, so there are classes, and in the following semester, a trainee lecturer like Valera will be responsible for one of the major courses of a class, as well as writing lectures, lecture notes, essays, and other things.
The trainee instructor must have been in charge of a relatively small and relatively unimportant class at first, and Valeera didn't care about getting promoted, plus the advantages of extraordinary means...... For her, the job is easy and free.
She only has two classes a week, a total of four class hours, a total of about three hours, and most of the other time, when there are no special circumstances, as long as her teaching is not a problem, no one cares if she goes to the office or not.
In such a time of change, this is the case in many decent industries.
Some people go to work for a good salary, and they do their best to get a decent job; For others, this kind of work is just a temporary hobby, to express themselves.
To the outside world, Valeera clearly falls into the latter category.
Of course, ease and freedom are the conditions after the teaching work officially began, and she still has to show up at school on time during the recent preparation time.
With a new job, a new environment, and a new social network, Valeera behaved well and won the favor of almost everyone to a greater or lesser extent.
After two days, Valilla began to selectively send out invitations to the ball.
She was going to hold a dance party at her residence on the evening of September 1.
By the time the invitation was issued, the preparations for the prom had been almost completed.
Valilla had spent hundreds of pounds on this ball, and it was a bit distressing.
But this ball is a respect for etiquette, a milestone in the social circle of higher society, and it is essential.
Of course, this ball has another meaning for Valeera.
She can use this to do a little foreshadowing, and prepare for a big event that is about to happen-
"Lieutenant General Hurricane" Zielingers assassinated Duke Negan.
This matter, Valeera has confirmed through various channels, and there is no big deviation from the description of the original book.
The other day, Audrey asked her about the Shepherd's abilities, then a letter from Crane, and then a "mirror call" between Hugh and Forth...... Obviously, they're talking about the same thing.
There is a lot of oil and water to be fished in this matter, even if you don't consider the magical item of "Wriggling Hunger", there is also a bounty and Duke Negan's thank you, which adds up to more than 40,000 pounds!
Valera has her eye on the property.
Not only that, but she even thought about how to use the property to invest and how to use the income she earned.
For this reason, some details of course need to be foreshadowed in advance.
The time was fast approaching Saturday.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Valera and the siblings "Kiri" greeted them at the door and escorted them into the ball hall.
There are many invited guests.
For example, Audrey's friends such as Glelint, Conse, Murray, Christine, etc.; For example, lecturers, faculty members, and associate professors in the Department of History at Beckland University; For example, some of the military officers and parliamentarians that "Kiri" made friends.
Of all the guests at this ball, the most important and high-profile guest was of course Audrey, who would not normally have been able to do so at such a level.
In addition to Audrey, there are several other guests who are also secretly watching Valeera.
For example, the "haughty girl in the sewers" Hazel, who Valera had a relationship, such as Associate Professor Barak and his wife, and the couple Doragu Gale and Mary Short.
Hazel, who has always been arrogant, completely lost his proud capital at this ball.
When Valera and Audrey stood together and smiled and exchanged, they were literally brighter than the giant chandelier on the dance floor, attracting almost all attention.
Of course, if only looks are there, then she at least has the advantage of extraordinary abilities.
But with the eye of the "thief", Hazel easily discovered that Valera had several high-value items on her body, and she was probably not an ordinary person.
When the ball began, Valilla and her brother "Kiri" danced the opening dance to the sound of melodious music, while the men in the audience began to look for their first dance partner.
Coincidentally, their eyes first swept over Audrey, who was standing on the edge of the dance floor, but ...... They just glanced at it and quickly withdrew their gaze.
Look at it, think about it, and have points in your heart.
They looked away, and many people's eyes lit up when they saw Hazel not far away.
At this moment, Hazel frowned invisibly, shifted her steps, and walked to Audrey's side.
After the opening dance, Valeera noticed Audrey and Hazel who were talking, and was slightly surprised.
As she walked over, she heard the two whispering about occult knowledge.
Of course, neither of them revealed their identities as extraordinary, and they were only talking about some occult skin.
Valera soon joined in the conversation.
Some of her thoughts were the same as those of Hazel, who intended to use Audrey as a shield and politely refuse a man's invitation to dance.
……
In the middle of the ball, Valilla found an opportunity to speak with Ms. Mary Short, a 20 percent stake in the company, a director of the Couum Company, which specializes in anthracite and high-quality charcoal.
Kauyinm is one of the most important of Valeera's preconceived investment targets.
She is well aware that in the next few months, because of the implementation of the new decree and the "big smog" incident, there will be a huge development of the company, and the overall value will explode several times.
Because she was sure of nine out of ten, Valilla began to discuss with Lady Mary about investment intentions before the desired wealth arrived.
Of course, what she had to do was to invest, not buy a stake in Mary's hands.
Valera has already figured out how to invest in a way that will not only protect Mary's interests, but also avoid the subsequent crisis of the Kauyinm company's equity struggle and the military takeover.
Well, if she can convince Mary to help with her investment plan.
